looks good. jw why you went with 18s (unless it's only cause the cr-kai's only come in 18s and you love the look of them) instead of 19s and why unstaggered?

thats what is keeping me from buying a set they dont come in 19's I asked someone who works for work(lol) and he said they made a few sets of 19's but good luck finding them.

18s=more rubber and softer ride. also, i can go lower on 18s than 19s

whats the benefit of stretching a tire? will it give you more of a low profile look?

it allows you to run lower offsets on your wheels without rubbing issues. if my offset wasn't +12 and lets say is was like +40 or something...then that means the wheel would sit inside the fender (opposite of flush) which allows you to run a normal tires...like on a 9.5 a 275/30 is ideal
